Times-Advocate, 1983-12-07, Page 10New facilities open
for cancer patients
Representatives from the
Canadian Cancer Society and
the London Cancer Clinic of-
ficially opened a 20 -bed addi-
tion to Thameswood Lodge in
London on Friday, November
25.
The $700,000 addition brings
to 50 the number of beds
available to cancer patients
from outside London who re-
quire accommodations while
undergoing treatment at the
London Cancer Clinic.
Funds for the project were
provided by the Canadian
Cancer Society from three
sources: limited local fun-
draising; designated bequests
or legacies to the Canadian
Ca*cer Society which must be
used in the southwestern On-
tario area; and funds from

the Ontario Division of the
Canadian Cancer Society
which were raised during the
Society's annual fundraising
campaign in April.
Thameswood Lodge is
operated by the Ontario
Cancer Treatment and
Research Foundation's Lon-
don Cancer Clinic.
The most recent addition
was the second since the
Lodge opened in 1962 with 18
beds. In 1970, 12 beds were
added to the facility.
Two of the new bedrooms
were designed for handicap-
ped patients and an elevator
has been added to the facility.
In addition to the new
bedrooms, there is an active
lounge for games such as ping
pong or shuffleboard and a
craft room where volunteers
instruct guests in macrame,
knitting, oil painting and
other crafts. There is a
quieter lounge for reading or
watching television and a
small privacy room where
guests may visit with family,
friends or clergy.
Thameswood Lodge serves
all of southwestern Ontario,
with guests coming from as
far north as the Bruce P'nin-
sula, as far west as Sarnia
and as far east as the Kit-
chener/Waterloo and Cam-
bridge areas. Family
members wishing to stay at
the Lodge with guests are per-
mitted to do so at a cost of $25
a night or $100 a week in-
cluding meals, providing a
bed is available.
Thameswood Lodge also
houses the newly renovated
offices of the Southwestern
District and London -
Middlesex Unit offices of the
Canadian Cancer Society.
The Lodge addition is the
second major project to
receive Canadian Cancer
Society funding recently. The
first was' the breast cancer
screening clinic at 373 Hill
Street in London which was
established as part of a na-
tional program to determine
if x-ray examination is more
effective in detecting cancer
in its early stages than is
physical examination alone.
Over the next year and a half,
the clinic hopes to recruit at
Ieast4,500 womenbetweenthe
ages of 40 and 59. Volunteers
for the program are being
sought from throughout
southwestern Ontario.
The Canadian Cancer
Society raises funds to sup-
port patient services and
education programs as well
as research into the causes of
cancer and its cures.
In 1983, $12,246,350 was rais-
ed in Ontario. Of this,
$1,199,448 was raised in
southwestern Ontario.

Jamie Wsstaa. clioson
to make musical Idstory
Twelve -year-old Kirkton
area boy treble Jamie
Westman will make musical
history December 17 when he
will become the first boy
singer in memory - if ever - to
perform in the Mahler Sym-
phony No. 4 in G.
Westman, who sings in the
St. Michael's choir in London,
got the part as the result of a
continent -wide hunt. It is also
possible that Anna Mahler,
the 75 -year-old daughter of
Gustav Mahler, will attend
the New England Conser-
vatory Youth Chamber Or-
chestra concert at Jordan
Hall in Boston. A young
pianist, Song Richardson, will
play the Saint-Saens Piano
Concerto No. 2
rt was sculptress Anna
Mahler's dream to have a boy
sing the part. She based her
wish on the title of the last
movement, A Child's View of
Heaven. Conductor Ben
Zander sent out a call for help
to child talent scout John D.
Shallenberger for a boy who
couldmanage part's enor-
mous range and poignancy.
Shallenger, who has supplied
Broadway and Hollywood
with child stars for years,
said he could think of only one
of the 2,000 young singers on
his roster who could manage
the part. He knew Westman's
work from his exceptional
showing as leading soloist in
Europe with the Americas
Boychoir last summer. For
Shallenberger, "there is just
no one as good as Jamie for
this role."
He sent a tape of Jamie's
singing - prepared by his
teacher, St. Michael's boy
choir director John M. F.
Insumnce
Wood - to Zander, who im-
mediately approved.
With a tour of Mexico to
follow Boston, it will be a
most different Christmas for
a 12 -year-old.
Jamie became a talent to
watch after Londoner
Mildred Duncan heard him on
CHCH-TV with the St. Marys
Children's Choir. Wood
recommended him to the
Amercias Boychoir and he
was accepted to make a tour
of Europe. Financial support
for the tour was raised
through various events in the
Kirkton area, where his
father Eldon is a cash -crop
farmer, and through a Sun-
day matinee held in the apart-
ment of William Stewart,
former Ontario agriculture
minister. Jamie on his return
sang a Stratford summer
Music program and appeared
in Mexico.
Until a month ago, there
was some fear that Jamie
might not be able to perform
in Boston. A lingering middle -
ear infection was affecting his
voice. The right medical
treatment found, his voice
recovered and he could
resume preparations for
Boston. His mother, Doris,
and Wood began hunting for
various scores and recordings
to help Jamie, who was taken
out of school and given a
tutor. Next week, he takes his
Grade 5 piano examination. A
piano and full orchestra
score, which proved in-
valuable for study, were
located by Maria Rose, whose
late husband Alfred, was a
nephew of Mahler.
As soon as the Boston
engagement is completed,
Westman and his parents
prepare to leave for Mexico
on Christmas Day, joining up
with the Americas Boychoir
tour to Mexico. The programs
begin in Saltillo December 28,
and continue until New
Year's Eve. On December 29,
he will sing the solo in
Saltillo's 240 -year-old
cathedral in the Concert ofdhe
Nations. When the choir
returns to the U.S. on January
1, Jamie is expected to have
additional singing
engagements. The Westmans
will then take a week's holi-
day in Guadalajara.

Dear Sir;
Perhaps one of your
readers could assist me in a
family history project. I am
searching for a photograph of
John Cameron, 1816,1896, who
settled on Lot 18 Usborne
Township on the Thames
Road in 1851. His four
children married into the
Hamilton, Allen, Bishop and
Climie families.
If any photograph of John
Cameron, alone or in a group,
still exists, I would appreciate
being allowed to copy it. This
could be done with out it leav-
ing your possession.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Gloria Jackson
